Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Join Jim and Greg as they’re not only frustrated by President Biden’s terrible interview performance with ABC News but Jim concludes Biden’s odd conduct over the past week suggests there is something significantly wrong with him. They also shake their heads as lefties try to compare the Taliban to pro-life activists and the people who stormed the U.S. Capitol in January. And they shudder as the Brits formally denounce the U.S. for the disastrous collapse of Afghanistan.

Nice of you guys to catch up. Some of us have known Biden is an empty suit for a long time.
Sorry Jim but Snuffy Stephanopolous does not deserve a passing grade… he barely pressed Biden about statements that directly contradicted things Biden said himself in July and allowed him to get away with saying this chaos was inevitable when any competent fifth grader would have gotten our civilians out before shutting down Bagram Air Base and the Afghans air and intel capability… I would not have expected a serious interview from a democrat operative with a byline like Snuffy… and we did not get one… that he asked one mildly uncomfortable question… and did not even bother to press Biden’s prickly and inaccurate answer… does not deserve a passing grade of any kind.
As progressives understand the world, the Taliban are the “authentic” representatives of the Afghan people.
In Vietnam, of course, they firmly believed the Communists were “authentic”.
The common element appears to be: opposition to America and the West.
Another fine “lunch”!
A minor detail: Radio days were well underway at the end of the Woodrow Wilson administration. Please check your technological history!
First time I’ve listened since 11 03 20. I really found it funny how you dismiss Democrats as tarring every they don’t like as terrorists because they are too invested in Republican hatred to be able to make a distinction between opponents and enemies, but turned around and tarred every protester who entered the Capitol on 01 06 21 as bad. No distinction between those who entered after police opened doors for them and those who broke in? No distinction between known liberal agitators in Trump hats and real conservative protesters? Blind pot, meet blind kettle.
I’ve also made an exception to my usual “Three Martini Lunch” avoidance.
I guess the issue this time is so clear that not even Jim Geraghty, who is always wrong, can get it wrong.
